III. THE FEI CODE OF CONDUCT FOR THE WELFARE OF THE
HORSE
The Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI) expects all those involved in international equestrian sport to adhere to the FEI’s Code of Conduct and to acknowledge and accept that at all times the welfare of the horse must be paramount and must never be subordinated to competitive or commercial influences.
1. At all stages during the preparation and training of competition horses, welfare must take precedence over all other demands. This includes good horse management, training methods, farriery and tack, and transportation.
2. Horses and Athletes must be fit, competent and in good health before they are allowed to compete. This encompasses medication use, surgical procedures that threaten welfare or safety, pregnancy in mares and the misuse of aids.
3. Events must not prejudice horse welfare. This involves paying careful attention to the competition areas, ground surfaces, weather conditions, stabling, site safety and fitness of the horse for onward travel after the event.
4. Every effort must be made to ensure that horses receive proper attention after they have competed and that they are treated humanely when their competition careers are over. This covers proper veterinary care, competition injuries, euthanasia and retirement.
5. The FEI urges all involved with the sport to attain the highest levels of education in their areas of expertise.
The Long version of this Code can be obtained from the Fédération Equestre Internationale, HM King Hussein I Building, Chemin de la Joliette 8, 1006 Lausanne, Switzerland. Telephone: +41 21 310 47 47. The Code is available in English. The Code is also available on the FEI’s website: http://inside.fei.org/.

2. INSURANCES AND NATIONAL REQUIREMENTS
Equestrian sports involve inherent dangerous risks. To the greatest extent permitted by law, the FEI and the FEI Event Organiser shall NOT be liable for any damages relating to loss of property or injury of any kind to Athletes, Owners, Support Personnel or Horses at or in connection with an FEI Event and the FEI expressly excludes all such liability.
2.1. ATHLETES, OWNERS AND SUPPORT PERSONNEL 2.1.1. Personal Accident and Health Insurance
It is your responsibility as an Athlete/Owner/ Support Personnel to ensure that you have adequate personal accident insurance in place to cover your participation at FEI Events and in particular to insure against any personal injury or medical expenses arising from an accident, injury or illness which may occur at a FEI Event.
You should check with your National Federation to confirm if your National Federation’s insurance policy (if any) covers personal accidents and/or illnesses which may occur when you are attending/participating in FEI Events.
If your National Federation does not have a personal accident/health insurance policy or if the National Federation’s insurance policy does not cover personal accident or health claims, then you should obtain your own personal accident and health insurance policy to cover your attendance/participation at FEI Events.
2.1.2. Personal Property Insurance
You should also ensure that you are insured against property loss, theft or damage which may occur at an FEI Event.
Again, the advice is to check with your National Federation to confirm if they have an insurance policy in place which would cover you in case of such property loss, theft or damage. If not, then you should obtain your own personal property insurance to cover such situations.
2.1.3. Press Equipment
Press equipment and other items left in the Press workroom, Press lockers, the Press Tribune or anywhere on the showgrounds are left entirely at the owner’s risk. The Organising Committee does not accept any responsibility for any loss or damage to such equipment or items. Members of the Press are advised not to leave any equipment or personal items unattended.
2.2. ATHLETES AND OWNERS
2.2.1. Third Party Liability Insurance
As an Athlete/Owner you are personally responsible for damages to third parties caused by you, your employees, Support Personnel, your agents or your Horses. You are, therefore, strongly advised to take out third-party liability insurance providing full coverage in relation to
Page 30 of 37 FEI Events at home and abroad, and to keep the policy up to date.
The FEI and the Organiser will NOT be responsible for any damage caused to third parties by you, your employees, Support Personnel, your agents or your Horses.
2.2.2. Additional Liability Information
The competitors have to fill out a liability form concerning the above mentrioned before its first start at the secretary office
2.2.3. Horse Insurance
As an Owner you should ensure that your Horses are adequately insured against any injuries or illnesses they may sustain while participating at a FEI Event.

Athletes wishing to school during speed competitions (Table A and Table C) must inform the OC before these competitions begin. These athletes will start first in these
competitions.
5. STEWARDING
· If an athlete is uncertain as to whether the boots he/she intends to use during an event are allowed, he/she or his/her representative should show the boots to the Chief Steward for his/her opinion before the boots are used in training or in competition.
· In addition, athletes are to be made aware that hind boots must be removed and placed again on the horse’s legs in the presence of a Steward while in the warm-up arena prior to entering the competition arena for certain competitions. (If bandages are used in place of boots, athletes are not required to remove the bandages in the warm-up arena.) This procedure is compulsory for competitions for which boot and bandage control is mandatory, that is the Nations Cup, Grand Prix, and the competition with the highest prize money, and is at the discretion of the Chief Steward for other competitions.
· As an alternative to carrying out this procedure at the time designated by the Steward an athlete may ask his/her groom to take the boots to the in-gate and place them on the horse’s legs in front of the Steward prior to the combination entering the arena.
· The Steward has the authority to intervene if a boot is deemed excessively tight by instructing that the boot be removed and put on again correctly. [Stewards are to note
that it is normal for a horse’s gait to be somewhat affected immediately after boots have been removed and placed.] If an athlete or his/her groom refuses to remove and
re-place the boot(s) when instructed to do so by the Steward, a Yellow Warning Card will be issued to the athlete in question.
· If it is deemed impossible or unsafe to remove the hind boots in the warm-up arena prior to the combination entering the competition arena, due to an extremely excited or nervous
